SINGAPORE: An enemy tank was on the move, having been spotted by the Singapore Army’s eyes in the sky – a suite of drones that had been persistently monitoring the battlefield.

For Major Marcus Lee, callsign Relic, the mission for his F-16 fighter jet was to use the intel gathered to locate and strike the target with a GBU-49 – a 500-pound, GPS- and laser-guided bomb.
